BeoVox CX100

Living proof that big sound need not take up more space than a couple of ring binders, Beovox CX50 snuggled in anywhere, even as extras in a Beolink® system.

Beovox CX50 and Beovox CX100 loudspeakers were the smallest loudspeakers from Bang & Olufsen up to the time that the manufacture of passive speakers ceased in 2002. They were mostly used to place within a passive Beolink® system (MCL), although they could also be used as main speakers. Thanks to different colour combinations they blended well into most people’s décor.

Beovox CX100 finally ceased production in September 2003 – the last of a long and successful line of passive speakers.

Description:
Passive loudspeaker, aluminium cabinet, available in black, white and brushed aluminium.

Replacement drive units: Top drive unit for CX50/CX100 Part number: 411743

Mounting Options

BeoCom 9600

Telephones are for speaking into and for listening to, but why stop at that? When Bang & Olufsen developed their own, they were built on the accumulated knowledge of natural sound, the durability of materials and of logical operation and function.

BeoCom 9600 was a GSM mobile phone in a class of its own as far as materials, manufacture and function were concerned. In spite of its unassuming appearance, it gave the user a loud and clear connection, even in noisy environments and with a card for fax and PC, it gave total mobility.

BeoCom 9600 could be charged with the table-top BeoCharger designed by Henrik Sørig Thomsen, designer of other Bang & Olufsen products such as BeoTalk 1100/1200, BeoCom 6000 and BeoCom 9800.

BeoCom 9500

One of B&O’s first mobile telephones was created in partnership with Ericsson. The basic design was Ericsson’s while B&O contributed its expertise within sound reproduction. Technically identical to Ericsson’s own model, the B&O version had its own special design feature in the shape of its inclining buttons.

” Always there for you but never a burden – BeoCom 9500. Because of its extremely small size and low weight, you could easily forget that you were carrying around an extremely powerful communication tool in your pocket. The pressure chamber loudspeaker gave an extremely clean sound when you received calls.”

Designed for GSM systems the BeoCom 9500 had a pressure chamber loudspeaker; display, including status indication, a high number of numbers in memory dependant on the SIM card, redial function, volume control, microphone mute, adjustable tone ringer, keypad lock, phone lock, intelligent security lock, battery low warning, SMS, call hold/wait function, CLI (Caller Line Identification), call forwarding and DTMF tones.

Batteries: Standard battery giving 100 minutes talk time or 20 hours stand-by. Plus battery giving 180 minutes talk time or 30 hours stand-by. Light battery giving 80minutes talk time or 15 hours stand-by. Charging time: 1 – 2 hours depending on battery types

Weight: approximately 225g depending on battery types

BeoCom 2500

With BeoCom 2500 means of communication couldn’t be simpler. The display on the phone allows you see the caller’s number, the time of the call and even the caller’s name if it’s listed in the 121-number memory. And if you can’t get to the telephone, or just don’t want to be disturbed, BeoCom 2500 can act as a passive answering machine registering the numbers of the last 24 callers.

BeoCom 2500 also has optional volume control for recent B&O AV equipment and is available in a good choice of bright and bold colours.

BeoCom 2500 features:

The display informs you of the duration of a call and gives status information on the functions available
All primary functions are available directly from the keypad of the BeoCom 2500

BeoCom 2400

At the time of its introduction, BeoCom 2400 was a completely new concept from the company. Since it was first released, it has become a classic – one of many from Bang & Olufsen’s design studios.

The telephone was really more than just a phone, featuring a 121-memory alpha-numeric phonebook which built up as new numbers were dialled. It also had redial for the last nine numbers. Searching through the BeoCom’s phonebook was extremely easy due to integrated search functions. When found, the phone dialled the number by itself after obtaining confirmation from the user.

All primary functions were available directly on the keypad, and secondary functions are accessed via a simple menu system. As with all other Bang & Olufsen telephones, BeoCom 2400 was equipped with a bass reflex speaker giving clear and easy recognisable voices. An infra-red module was available as an optional extra, giving the user the ability to control the volume on other Bang & Olufsen products.

BeoCom 2000

Beocom 2000, the classic telephone from Bang & Olufsen… what else is there to say?

Beocom 2000 was unlike anything which had been introduced by Bang & Olufsen before.

All the parts of the phone were made by the company itself and not imported from other manufacturers. A well-equipped telephone with extraordinary sound quality, a tradition carried on with all of the Beocom range of telephones.

The design is truly timeless. The display gave information on which number your were calling and the time connected. All standard functions were of course, also available, like volume control and numeric memories, and for the more advanced user there was a special headset available!

This phone was also available in a more simple version, Beocom 600, which didn’t have the display but had the same sound quality.

The memory bank of the Beocom 2000 enabled you to store your personal top twenty, and at the touch of just a few buttons you were connected. With display, bass reflex speaker in handset, 20 numbers of memory, quick call key for an often-use or ’emergency’ number, redial of last 3 numbers called, pause function, adjustable volume control, microphone mute (for secrecy), built-in speaker for listening, adjustable tone ringer with 8 settings plus off. There was even a hidden note pad which could be used by raising the lid on the right-hand side of the unit!

Up to 1993 Beocom 2000 was produced with different coloured keys. However, from this time a more mellow design was offered with all the keys complementing each other. On its bright display with large characters the Beocom 2000 could offer you the last three numbers for redialling
